Quectel EC20 R2.1
Mini PCIe
IoT/M2M-optimized LTE
Cat 4 Module
Build a Smarter World
Quectel EC20 R2.1 Mini PCIe is an LTE category 4 module adopng standard PCI Express
®
MiniCard form factor (Mini PCIe).
Adopng the 3GPP Rel.11 LTE technology, it is opmized specially for M2M and IoT applicaons, and delivers 150Mbps
downlink and 50Mbps uplink data rates.
Designed in the compact and unied form factor, EC20 R2.1 Mini PCIe is compable with Quectel UMTS/HSPA+ UC20 Mini
PCIe module, mul-mode LTE Cat 3 EC20 Mini PCIe and Cat 4 EC20 R2.0 Mini PCIe/EG25-G Mini PCIe module, which allows
for exible migraon among them in design and manufacturing. Meanwhile, it is backward-compable with exisng EDGE
and GSM/GPRS networks, ensuring that it can be connected even in remote areas devoid of 4G or 3G coverage.
EC20 R2.1 Mini PCIe supports mulple-input mulple-output (MIMO) technology. The use of mulple antennas at the
receiver end at the same me and on the same frequency band greatly minimizes errors and opmizes the data speed. The
module also combines high-speed wireless connecvity with embedded mul-constellaon high-sensivity GNSS (GPS,
GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS) receiver for posioning.
A rich set of Internet protocols, industry-standard interfaces and abundant funconalies (USB drivers for Windows
7/8/8.1/10, Linux, Android/eCall*) extend the applicability of the module to a wide range of M2M applicaons such as CPE,
industrial router, industrial PDA, rugged tablet PC, video surveillance and digital signage.
